They build similar houses in South America. BUt these here are quite high, and I bet there are times when the river floods the are and their now standing on dry land
dwelling would be in the middle of it.

The boat goes through many curves now. The flows through a flat area, with no trees and their roots to hold the soil in place, so the river gets its way at
sculpting the landscape, and meandering. It must look like a snake from above.

I knew there will be more children on the way! They are always happy to see the big boats and strange tourists. Passing boats like our must be
a big event for them, and entertainment in their otherwise i imagine lives without all the toys which the Western kids have.

Uh, this part is pretty narrow. I think the river is no wider than 10 meters in some places. It's not easy to maneuver for the captain, and one of the crew
stands now at all time at the front and helps maneuvering with a long paddle. Still, a few times, we hit the shore and get to smell the growing on them bushes.
The guy on the right is taking care of his net, which is suspended in the water by use of empty water bottles.

A bit wider again, but I am sure not for too long. The water is very muddy and has zero visibility, which is I am sure due to all the soil it carries from meandering.

It also becomes very narrow again, which means a curve. Let's see what beyond it, but that's on the next page

My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path. Safe travels ! ........... Stan
